Differential $k$-form on $\mathbb{R}^n$: a pointwise alternating $\mathbb{R}$-multilinear $k$-form on $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Instances For
Pointwise additive group structure on differential $k$-forms.
Borel measurable space structure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, needed for integration of forms.
A differential form $\xi$ is smooth iff it is $C^\infty$ as a map between normed spaces.
Instances For
$\xi$ has Sobolev regularity $H^s$ iff $\|\xi\|_{H^s} < \infty$.
Instances For
A differential form on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is smooth iff it is $C^\infty$ as a manifold map between the trivially-charted vector spaces.
Forward direction: a smooth form is $C^\infty$ in the manifold sense.
Reverse direction: a manifold-$C^\infty$ form is smooth in the analytic sense.
Bridge: $H^0$-Sobolev regularity coincides with membership in $L^2$ under a finite measure.
Forward implication of the $H^0$–$L^2$ bridge.
Reverse implication of the $H^0$–$L^2$ bridge.
